A couple of the hi-res spot illos from SGR book 4 (The Retribution Index) were gone when I went to put together the Comixology edition (should be up in a few weeks), so I had to redraw them. Don’t go to this book looking for visual consistency. There are drawings in there from 2004, 2011, 2017 and 2020. I tried to fake my old style but I couldn't do it so I had to give in and just draw them how I draw now. The whole book is a hodgepodge of styles. Some of it was drawn in Adobe Illustrator, which I had got used to and was quite sharp at, but a few interludes were drawn with pen and ink in a less polished way. I find it quite charming now. Quite.
The original drawings are from 2005 - they will have been done with a Staedtler pigment liner. I certainly had the confidence to wield a thick line! I don't know how to draw like this any more. I've learned too much to let the quirks in. I have entirely new faults now.

What a glow up!?
Hi Maryjo! That's how I think of it too. Hope you're doing ok!
This is interesting. It's like looking at old photographs. It's still them, they just look like grownups now. it's the difference between looking at your high school yearbook and finding that person on facebook 15 years later.
